From Storlien [map], which is a sleepy town in summer inhabited mostly by Norweigans, it is possible to hike to Blåhammarfjället Mountain Station (the very small dots you can see on the mountain ridge in the image bottom left) [map].
Åre [map], one of Sweden’s most popular ski resorts, is wonderful in summertime as well. Beautiful nature, plenty of things to do. Hiking, rafting, downhill biking, canoeing, horseback riding, paragliding, to name a few. There are also many restaurants and bars in Åre, but nightlife is more vibrant in the wintertime.
Passed Dorotea on our way to Östersund, and found a beautiful beach with a view over the mountains in the horizon.
